Sequence training bat

Abstract

A sequence training bat that separates a pair of hands of a batter when training so that the batter feels the proper sequence of hand and arm movements. The training bat has a barrel connecting through a crosspiece to a handle for a bottom hand to grip and parallel to the bat handle, a rod for a top hand to grip. The rod connects to the bat by the crosspiece. Vibrations resulting from hitting a ball are minimized when they travel down the barrel to the crosspiece where they are horizontally dispersed, allowing better and instant feedback to the batter without any confusion caused by vibrations. Each hand grips a different part of the training bat so that the sequence training bat can provide immediate and separate feedback to each hand. The sequence training maintains a balanced feel.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A sequence training bat, comprising:
 a rod; 
 a bat having a separable and discrete barrel and a separable and discrete handle; and 
 a crosspiece connecting said rod and said barrel of the bat and said handle of the bat, said rod and said handle extending downward from the crosspiece in parallel to the rod, said barrel extending upward from the crosspiece, said barrel and said handle joining by a connecting to and passing through a first hole in the crosspiece, said handle and said barrel linearly connecting through the crosspiece, the crosspiece having a second hole, the rod connecting to the crosspiece through the second hole, the first hole and the second hole each having a cutout opening leading into a smaller indented hole, the crosspiece dispersing vibrations horizontally, minimizing the vibrations to said handle and said rod. 
 
     
     
       2. The sequence training bat as described in  claim 1 , wherein the crosspiece separates a plurality of vibrations from a sweet spot on the barrel from said handle and said rod. 
     
     
       3. A sequence training bat, comprising:
 a bat, having a separable and discrete barrel and a separable and discrete handle, said handle having a knob; 
 a rod; and 
 a crosspiece having a pair of holes, each hole having a cutout opening on a surface of the crosspiece and a smaller interior opening, the crosspiece connecting said barrel of the bat to said handle of the bat through a first hole, the small interior opening of said first hole have a through bore, the rod extending down from the crosspiece, parallel to said handle of the bat, connecting to the crosspiece through a second hole. 
 
     
     
       4. The sequence training bat as described in  claim 3 , wherein a first fastener connects said handle to said barrel through the first hole in the crosspiece. 
     
     
       5. The sequence training bat as described in  claim 4 , wherein a second fastener connects the rod to the crosspiece through the second hole. 
     
     
       6. The sequence training bat as described in  claim 5 , wherein the first fastener, the second fastener and the crosspiece are configured to distribute a plurality of vibrations resulting from hitting a ball with said barrel. 
     
     
       7. A sequence training bat, comprising:
 a separable and discrete barrel with a lengthwise center axis; 
 a separable and discrete handle with a lengthwise center axis and a bottom knob; 
 a rod; and 
 a crosspiece connecting the separable and discrete barrel and the separable and discrete handle together with the rod, the center axis of the separable and discrete barrel and the center axis of the separable and discrete handle forming a straight line, the rod extending downward from the crosspiece parallel to the separable and discrete handle, the crosspiece having a pair of holes, each hole having a cutout opening on a surface of the crosspiece and a smaller interior opening for receiving a fastener. 
 
     
     
       8. The sequence training bat as described in  claim 7 , wherein the rod is a handbreadth shorter than the separable and discrete handle and the separable and discrete handle is configured for grasping above the knob by a bottom hand and the rod is configured for grasping by a top hand, one handbreadth above the bottom hand. 
     
     
       9. The sequence training bat as described in  claim 7 , wherein a first fastener connects the separable and discreet handle to the separable and discrete barrel through a first hole in the crosspiece, the smaller interior opening of the first hole having a through bore and a second fastener inserts into the smaller interior opening of a second hole, connecting the rod to the crosspiece. 
     
     
       10. The sequence training bat as described in  claim 9 , wherein the first fastener, the second fastener and the crosspiece are configured for distributing a plurality of vibrations resulting from hitting a ball with separable and discreet barrel, the crosspiece minimizing the vibrations transferred to the separable and discreet handle and the rod.
